in water, and choose a container with drainage.

garden. Its heart-shaped leaves feature splashes of lime green
and yellow against darker green
backgrounds, creating a lively appearance without needing flowers.

your plant collection.

but never leave the roots sitting in water.
They can be sensitive to mineral-rich water,
so filtered water or suitable low-mineral
water may help prevent leaf edge damage in some conditions.

in their environment. Display a calathea where
its beautiful patterns can be appreciated up close,
such as a side table or plant shelf.

so keep it away from pets and children.

an attractive finishing touch for a layered indoor garden.
